The National Film Development Corporation (Finas), in collaboration with RTM, is offering the Pelaksana 3.0 Kenegaraan Fund to local production companies to boost national-themed creative content.

Finas' Corporate Communications Unit said that the fund will also be able to help regenerate the creative industry's economy, affected by Covid-19.

“The fund is offered to local production companies to produce works for special national-themed programmes, on television station platforms, in mini-series (eight episodes) and super-telemovie categories,” it said in a statement.

Apart from that, Finas, in collaboration with Media Prima, also invites local production companies to apply for the TV/OTT (over-the-top) programme fund for the production of super-telemovies.

It said that the offers aim to increase local creative content and viewing on OTT broadcaster platforms, as well as boosting content copyright ownership among local publishers, for future revenue.

Application for these funds is now open until May 25 and can be made here or here.
